How to Use the Cruise Control in Camry?
2 Answers
On the right side of the steering wheel near the driver's seat, there is a lever similar to the wiper control. Press the button at the top of the lever (cruise main switch). At this point, CRUISE will be displayed on the dashboard, indicating that the main switch is turned on. When accelerating to the desired speed, press the SET button. At this time, the right foot can release the accelerator, and the speed will be fixed at the current speed. Press the RES plus and SET minus buttons to fine-tune the speed.
After driving the Camry for so many years, I find the cruise control incredibly practical. For example, when I get on the highway, I first press the cruise button on the steering wheel to activate the system. I then accelerate to my desired speed, say 100 km/h, and press the SET button to lock it in. At this point, the car automatically maintains that speed, allowing me to take my foot off the accelerator, which reduces fatigue. To adjust speed, I simply press the + or - buttons, and the cruise control automatically cancels when I hit the brakes. It's great for long trips, saving fuel and enhancing safety. Just remember to check your car battery regularly, as low battery levels can affect the system. Also, it's best to avoid using cruise control in rainy conditions or city driving to prevent accidents. It's easy to set up—give it a try!
